Anyone else feel that half the stuff that was just changed is MUCH uglier that the old icons?
Things like AI bots looking different are usefull changes, but the MOR, IGOC and DB Bracer just look like a 5 year old opened paint and hit his face on the keyboard.

I love all the new icons - much cooler.
I prefer the new icons also. If nothing else, at least now you can tell items apart more easily, since so many used to share icons. I know some still do, but it's getting better.

Imo they (or he since I heard they hired a specific person to do this) did a pretty good job on the icons, they are not supposed to look professional but they have to be useful.. which they are now! thumbs up

Bump. The majority of the replacement icons put in today are very poorly chosen for the items they're supposed to be representing.

My question then is how do you use Paint with a keyboard...?

Really? What exactly does a "Imbued Globe of Clarity" look like? The bracer icons, do infact, look like bracers.
Not seeing it here!
Don't be lonely anymore.
Look at your post, now back at mine. Now back to your post, now back at mine. Sadly, yours isn't mine, but if you stopped trolling and started posting legitimate comments it could look like mine. Look down, back up, where are you? You're scrolling through posts, reading the posts your posts could look like. Back at mine, it's a reply saying something you want to hear. Look again, my reply is now diamonds. Anything is possible when you think before you post.
I'm unsure why the "common" items are getting their icons changed.
some of the new icons look good.. but some of them.. well, golly gosh..
Why not change just the icons for the less used, less seen, duplicate icon items that we wouldn't care so much if it looked like a four legged rainbow meat cannon or a glowing donut hole tied with string because it's not in our equip tab or on our hotbar?
Love the new Icons, withered flesh looks like.......MOM! Seriously, good job!
I like most of the new items icons, except MOTR/barrow strength/withered flesh. YUCK.
They look like a deer carcass.
I think that new icons are in line with AO story and AO world.

new perk special icons please
I'm not overly keen on the Perfected Dust Brigade Bracer's new icon. I just don't see what it's supposed to represent. It's also quite small so you don't really get a feel for the level of detail thats probably been put into it.
This is also a problem with the withered flesh/MoR. The old icons used to stand out much more. I kind of understood the icon change for withered flesh, this new one does look more 'withered', but I think the shape at least for the MoR should have been kept.
I like the new icon for the Master Piece Bracer, although it looks very Grand. It would have been a perfect icon for Leo's Bracer since at the moment that bracer just has a ring icon.
I think the AI Bot icons look a bit rough. I prefered the old smoother icons but do think that the new stronger colour changes for each type of bot is an improvement.
All in all though some good changes and new players won't have the 'taste' issues that older players will have of course. Good work!
I actually think thats kinda the point... Ya know.. Withered flesh.... Deer Carcass... I bet you can see the irony in your post there :3

If its not broken... don't "fix" it. There's been plenty of icons I've kind of used to, which now are more like "wtf?".
Also, many new icons seem to have too much details for the size.

Got superior pewpew or nerfbat? But it looks ugly, or you are just plain bored with everyone going around with same? Bump for Weapon Remodeling and get your unique looks!
Some are good, some are bad. Overall i don't really understand why replace the icons for very well estabilished items that didn't share an icon with other items from typical inventory.
New icons for viralbots and bracers certainly help a lot to clear up some confusion and navigate through backpacks, but whats the reasoning behind Might of The Revenant change?
Well technically speaking, old icon was a clear blue globe. New one is...i don't know what it is.
I think many of the new icons are cool but but in my personal opinion I think some of the changes were unnecessary.
What was the point of changing iGoc when the jewel that had the same icon (crystal sphere) had already been changed? I actually liked the MotR as it was.. now it looks like something that ran into a bag of skittles. I really don't care for the look of the masterpiece and DB bracer but...whatever I guess.
Please don't change the arul saba bracers....
If people were having so many problems with icons why not just go into list mode? I dunno.. guess I'm ranting.
